Growth Ultrasound

35 weeks tomorrow and today went in for my growth scan today and they said baby Is approximately 6 pounds 8 ounces which I know ultrasounds are only estimates they said he could be a pound lighter or a pound heavier .

My Dr. Said he's more than likely going to induce me after I turn 38 weeks because of how big he is expecting my lo to be .

Lol yeah , I was really hoping to go in to labor on my own . But my dr. W I not let me go to full term because of how big he is now approximately and how big previous babies were . 6.9 though lol could you imagine if your lo is a pound heavier

I have gd, and some other complications so I get a bpp every week, and a growth ultrasound every other week, my next is tomorrow. I had a regular appointment yesterday and I talked to my doc about this. He agreed that he will not push for induction no matter how big baby is, unless I go past 41 weeks. Then I agreed to do better about watching my blood sugar, lol. I'm glad he's going to let me go into labor naturally though.

I had an ultrasound at 35 weeks and baby was 6-1/2 pounds also. My doc will ...

I had an ultrasound at 35 weeks and baby was 6-1/2 pounds also. My doc will allow me to go to 41-1/2 weeks before induction..wonder why yours said 38!?

My 2nd child was 11.7 when he was born no gestational diabetes at 40 + and still had to be induced lol and he got stuck under my hip . My 3rd was 8. 14 ounces born 2 weeks early (38 weeks) because of the umbilical cord being wrapped around his neck . Dr. Doesn't want to rake any chances :/
